:// The moment Gan Zhanxuan retreated from the Yang Zhen Sect, he appeared directly before Gan Jing, the Qian Kun Wu Ji Seal slamming down from the sky, brimming with domineering might. This time, Gan Zhanxuan was completely different from his previous exhibition match; every move burst forth with his full power. As he moved, an innate dominance arose.

The Qian Kun Wu Ji Seal, refined over decades, was far superior to the one Gan Wuxingchen possessed. A single punch caused heaven and earth to spin, and gravity behaved wildly, completely without discernible pattern. Gan Zhanxuan advanced step by step, unleashing a momentum that looked forward and backward with his Overlord Fist.

The sheer force surpassed that of Yang Zhen Sect by a significant margin, shocking everyone present. They were all peaks of the Three Great Bloodlines, yet Gan Zhanxuan had surged ahead without anyone noticing. “Last time I shattered the Dou Seal; this time, I won’t need the Dou Seal to beat you,” Gan Jing declared as he confidently strode forward.

His rapid steps, due to their perfect stability, appeared utterly calm and relaxed, like an elder strolling through a garden after dinner. He infused the essence of the Eighteen Hammers of Ascending Peaks into the Chaos, delivering another punch. The myriad of fighting skills devoured countless stars while simultaneously nurturing infinite vitality.

The roar of a giant dragon storm resonated from his fists and arms, unleashing an invincible aura that swept aside everything as he strode forward. Before Gan Zhanxuan’s Overlord Fist even connected with Gan Jing’s, the hard and domineering aura showed signs of causing morale to crumble before the clash, as if two armies had seen their spirit broken before the battle began. “Open one eye!

All Laws manifest!” A vertical eye split open on Gan Zhanxuan’s forehead, releasing an aura of primal creation. Endless magic surged forth, seemingly containing the infinite truths of the stars. It spoke of the past and evolved the future.

“How powerful is Gan Zhanxuan!” Pan Hongji’s eyelids twitched violently. “These past few days, watching Gan Jing’s battles, he actually managed to steal lessons from him, using his unique Myriad Laws Divine Eye to transform all laws into Chaos? Although it’s still not as pure as Gan Jing’s, this method…” Li Ba nodded repeatedly.

“Gan Zhanxuan truly is a genius among geniuses, able to develop his own magic by observing Gan Jing’s fighting techniques!” “Chaos emerges! All Laws perish!” The Chaos clashed with the magic of the Myriad Laws Divine Eye. There was no explosion of brilliant fireworks, only a devastating impact strong enough to make the city walls tremble, peel, and even collapse!

Cracking! The walls of the Imperial Palace fractured rapidly. Thick fissures spread across the masonry with the speed of lightning streaking across the sky.

The impact of the fierce Dou Qi and magic shockwaves caused the walls to transition from cracking to outright collapse in the next moment! Blocks of bluestone shook loose and fell from the fractured walls. The nearby experts quickly activated their powers to resist the severe destructive force.

Amidst the dust and fighting spirit, the sound of bowstrings being drawn and arrows piercing the air rang out. In a flash of lightning, Gan Zhanxuan was blasted backward from the dust cloud. The massive eggshell shield protecting him shattered completely the instant he flew out.

“Xuan Gui Shield!” Pan Hongji thumbed his chin. “Impressive! That strongest magic shield, usually requiring a magic legion to maintain, you conjured instantly?

Even if it only covers the area of one person.” Li Ba’s eyelids kept jumping. The Xuan Gui Shield! A shield that, in his previous state, he couldn't have broken even with a full-power strike—and it was shattered by a rapid flurry of blows from Gan Jing!

Gan Zhanxuan’s face was slightly pale, his chest heaving violently. A trace of bright red blood seeped from the Myriad Laws Divine Eye on his forehead. The path of magic he had just created was still imperfect, and he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

Gan Jing drove back Gan Zhanxuan with a few punches and continued forward without pause. Seeing this, the patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodline Families instinctively took a collective step back! Retreat!

That was right! Gan Jing’s momentum was too overwhelming! He had sent Yang Zhenzong flying with one palm and one punch, and then blasted the now-strengthened Gan Zhanxuan away with a volley of rapid punches.

Just how terrifying was his actual strength? “I can’t retreat! Stop him!” Yi Sha Xiongfeng roared, activating his True Saint Pseudo-Dragon Bloodline, and was the first to charge at Gan Jing.

The other seven patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodline Families also activated their Bloodline Warriors and lunged toward Gan Jing. “My comrade doesn't have time to deal with you lot! Let us handle them!” Duan Feng Bu'er shouted, activating his Head Serpent Bloodline War Body.

His Soul Domain of Instant Movement opened, pulling everyone with him to appear before the eight Bloodline Warrior Patriarchs. At this moment, Li Dongfeng, Fen Tu Kuangge, Duan Feng Bu'er, Yang Fenghua, Pan Mengshen, and Pan Mengcheng unleashed their True Saint strengths to the fullest! Instantly, the crowd clashed, and the magnificent architecture of the Imperial Palace was destroyed by the collision of dazzling magic and Dou Qi.

The surrounding structures couldn't withstand this terrifying destructive power and collapsed one after another. After repelling Gan Zhanxuan, Gan Jing walked forward without stopping, saying, “Uncle, I apologize!” The Three Great Battle Souls soared into the sky, and the Three Great Super-Virtual Battle Souls returned to his body. The widespread dust cloud was swept up again and scattered everywhere in the sky.

The veteran powerhouses stared blankly at Gan Jing. How much time had passed? He could completely control such immense power now?

Activating it was already incredibly difficult, even for those with such Dou Qi strength, but controlling all of it was indescribably harder. Yet, Gan Jing had truly achieved it! At the age of just over twenty, he accomplished what others couldn't achieve even by the time they died.

“Kid! There's no such thing as inexcusable offense, come on! Our positions are simply different.” Pan Hongji activated his Bloodline War Body: Virtual Saint, Solid Saint, True Saint!

True Saint Peak! Breaking past the peak! Reaching a new pinnacle!

Shadows appear! Serpent roars! Pan Hongji spread both arms, and the Head Serpent Battle Soul roared repeatedly behind him, releasing a world-destroying ferocity that rivaled Gan Jing’s power!

Having partially broken the chains of the Bloodline Curse, Pan Hongji unleashed a might that stunned even the patriarchs of the Three Ultimate Bloodlines—a power capable of contending with the contemporary Great Demon King. Peak versus Peak! The moment Pan Hongji activated his bloodline power, people finally understood that Gan Jing stood at the true apex of the present era!

“Kid, come on!” Black Dou Qi erupted around Pan Hongji’s body. He spread his arms slightly outward, and a hundred strands of black Dou Qi rose from each palm, intertwining like snakes or ropes, subtly exuding an indescribable pressure. Pan Hongji’s Entangling Serpent Web!

The older generation of experts were simultaneously startled. Pan Hongji was immediately using his self-created fighting skill? This clearly signaled an all-out battle!

And starting with his strongest skill demonstrated his resolve to eliminate Gan Jing. Simultaneously, Li Ba’s Three-Headed Golden Dragon Battle Soul also manifested its full power. His True Saint strength caused the three Golden Dragon Battle Souls to roar toward the heavens, as if trying to blast a hole through the stars.

The two most formidable experts of the current Zhen Ce Dynasty were striking together! That’s right! To prevent Gan Jing from proceeding to the Lucifer Dynasty, the two strongest experts of the Zhen Ce Dynasty had joined forces, intending to subdue Gan Jing completely.

One-on-one? Even Pan Hongji couldn't guarantee a win against Gan Jing. After continuous battles and rigorous training, Gan Jing’s comprehension of power had reached the utmost limit of the current era.

It was hard to predict the outcome of a fight between them, let alone capture Gan Jing alive. Only by attacking together did they have a chance to seize Gan Jing! The two ultimate forces tore through space, lunging toward Gan Jing at speeds nearly surpassing time itself.

Everything in their path turned to dust; any object obstructing their bodies was reduced to nothingness. One against two? Facing the two strongest experts of the Zhen Ce Dynasty, Gan Jing dared not be careless for even a moment.

In a flash, he reviewed every single battle from his debut until the present day. He, once a minor warrior who couldn't even clearly see these unattainably powerful figures, was now engaging them hand-to-hand. This dreamlike transformation caused Gan Jing to lose focus for an instant as scenes rapidly flashed through his mind.

Illusion! The special ability carried by Snake Emperor Pan Hongji when awakening the Head Serpent power! It caused a person to become completely engrossed in their own retrospective thoughts!

A perfect opportunity! Capture! Pan Hongji spread his hands, and countless black threads from heaven and earth rapidly wrapped around every part of Gan Jing’s body, like a giant silkworm spider collecting its prey.

“Illusion? This isn't an illusion!” Gan Jing’s pupils flared with sharp light. “From my debut, my belief has never wavered!

It didn't before, it won't now, and it won't in the future! Violence Soul Domain! Open for me!

Burning Soul Domain, boil forth! True Shield Soul Domain, hold firm! Lightning Soul Domain, roar!” The Four Great Soul Domains flared at full power without regard for cost.

The black Dou Qi binding Gan Jing began to snap, but as one thread broke, a new one formed, wrapping around him and denying him a chance to break free. “Thunder Soul Domain! Strike Gan Jing down for me!” Pan Hongji activated both his dual Soul Domains, increasing his might further.

Strands of black Dou Qi now carried supreme lightning power. Li Ba’s fist was already inches from Gan Jing’s chest. Even if they severely wounded the young man first, they had to keep him within the Zhen Ce Dynasty.

“You cannot hold me! You cannot trap me!” Gan Jing roared. One arm tore free from the power of the black threads of Chaos from Pan Hongji.

Tearing through the obstructing black Dou Qi, he met Li Ba’s ultimate move head-on. The instant they clashed, Li Ba’s body shook repeatedly, forced back several steps. Although their base strengths were equal, Gan Jing’s Chaos had reached a new level due to continuous combat, and with the assistance of the Violence Soul Domain, even with Pan Hongji assisting nearby, Li Ba was at a disadvantage the moment they connected.

The moment Li Ba retreated, Pan Hongji was already before Gan Jing. His left hand held infinite lightning power, while his right hand formed a black vortex of engulfing Chaos. “Chaos—whether it’s Chaos or whatever!

Everything must be buried in this devouring darkness!” “Chaos originates everything! Chaos destroys everything! Chaos is everything!” Before Li Ba, who was just recovering from his clash, could catch his breath, Gan Jing met the charging Pan Hongji with both arms extended, unleashing two strikes of Chaos simultaneously.

Visible starlight formed between his arms, as if new universes and stars were being born between the two Chaos manifestations. Lightning flashed and exploded outward, while the black energy frantically devoured the destructive aura of the Chaos. “Uncle, you can’t swallow this!” Gan Jing twisted his waist and swung his hips.

The Chaos fighting technique, possessing peerless momentum, pressed forward relentlessly. The hidden lightning technique plunged into the Devouring Soul Domain, exploding repeatedly. Over a dozen bloody gashes of varying sizes instantly burst open on Pan Hongji’s arm.

Unparalleled momentum, unending advance! If there is a path, move forward! If there is no path, carve one out with your own hands!

Gan Jing was like an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex waking from slumber, mercilessly crushing and smashing anything that dared impede his progress. Pan Hongji felt as if he were about to burst. His body swayed, and he rapidly retreated.

Li Ba executed their coordination perfectly; the instant Pan Hongji retreated, Li Ba blocked the path, his claw covered in dragon scales bearing a world-shattering aura, descending to smash everything. No time to recover breath, no opportunity for adjustment. Gan Jing pulled back his arm, shook his right shoulder, and used his elbow as a spear, forming a circle of Chaos aura that instantly repelled Li Ba’s dragon claw.

“Vanish!” Pan Hongji roared, unleashing a wave of fighting skills from his palms that erupted into the empty air. The ground, receiving the impact of these skills, immediately blew out two deep craters. After venting Gan Jing’s Chaos fighting technique, Pan Hongji sensed Li Ba retreating and started to move forward again, but he was a half-step too slow.

Gan Jing had already arrived before them. The myriad Dou Qi within his body surged like taut bowstrings, the sound of arrows being drawn sweeping toward the two men’s hearing like a tsunami. In the next instant, the pupils of Pan Hongji and Li Ba were filled with a terrifying wall of fists!

Gale Rain! Gan Jing’s ultimate technique, fusing the Three Great Arts into one, was now presented to the two contemporary powerhouses in the form of bare-knuckle strikes. The sound of wind from the bows, the hiss of arrow rain, accompanied by the roar of the Soul-Suppressing Requiem’s Dou Qi, suddenly erupted in the fiercest group combat skill!

Every powerful expert possesses their own group combat skill! The higher the rank of the expert, the more likely they are to possess a unique group skill! As Gan Jing struck, Pan Hongji and Li Ba counterattacked simultaneously!

Any nearby structures caught in the storm of this battle were instantly reduced to ruins and dust. Whether ancient wooden houses or solid brick buildings, everything proved fragile under the overwhelming shockwaves of the battle between the three masters. Within a thousand-meter radius centered on the three fighters, human presence quickly vanished, all reduced to ruins.

This was the destructive power of the current peak battle! It was also why the three nations desperately pursued strengthening individual combat capabilities! Aside from the Ultimate Awakening, if the strongest individual might caused this much destruction, what kind of overwhelming power did the Ultimate Awakening possess?

Experts who had never witnessed the power of the Ultimate Awakening couldn't help but wonder what sort of absolute strength could make even these current peak experts bow their heads in defeat. The other True Saint experts engaged in battles paused their fighting, looking up at the sky where the three absolute fighters were attacking without reservation, pushing their fists to the limit. Powerful!

At this moment, everyone once again grasped the immensity of Gan Jing’s strength! If yesterday people still categorized Gan Jing as a first-tier True Saint expert, then today, Gan Jing was the strongest warrior of the Zhen Ce Dynasty! None other!

The Snake Emperor and Li Ba, two peak experts, had joined forces and still failed to subdue Gan Jing! This explained enough. In a one-on-one scenario, Gan Jing fighting either of the two would definitely give him the upper hand!

The strongest! The strongest warrior in the current Zhen Ce Dynasty was no longer the aloof Bloodline Warrior, but an ordinary warrior who hadn't activated his bloodline power! The bloodline warriors at the current peak exchanged glances, offering only bitter smiles.

Who could have imagined things escalating to this point, where a mere ordinary warrior stood at the apex, looking down on the bloodline warriors who once looked down on him? The strongest warrior of the Zhen Ce Dynasty had, without anyone realizing it, changed! Let Gan Jing leave?

The thought flashed through many experts’ minds, followed by frequent headshakes of refusal. The Demon Race wouldn't fight Gan Jing face-to-face like they were; they would certainly mobilize their mage corps to unleash the strongest attacks against him. Two muffled groans echoed in the sky.

Li Ba’s body was forced back a thousand meters, withdrawing from the melee. Snake Emperor Pan Hongji also retreated a thousand meters, his Myriad Comprehension Eyes fixed on Gan Jing with shock. The combined force of the two oldest experts of the Zhen Ce Dynasty had been defeated by Gan Jing!

“Gan Jing seems to have entered a rare rapid growth phase,” Li Ba wiped the sweat from his forehead, staring at Gan Jing, who was floating in the sky and approaching step by step. He murmured to Pan Hongji beside him, “At the start of the initial clash, when we two joined forces, we actually held a slight advantage, but then…” Pan Hongji nodded silently. Since Gan Jing unlocked the second seal, his control over power grew more precise and skilled.

The intense battle served as the best crucible for him. He was progressing rapidly in the fight: from initially being at a disadvantage, to achieving parity, and now to holding the advantage. Progress!

Rapid progress! Not just in Dou Qi, but also in the application of his fighting skills, which went from slightly stiff to increasingly proficient. Wherever his Chaos fighting techniques passed, they always imparted an indescribable pressure.

Now, suppressing Gan Jing would likely require all the veteran True Saint experts present to attack him together. But... Pan Hongji looked at the young True Saint experts floating in the sky.

None of them were novices who had just entered the True Saint realm. Through their battles against Gan Jing in the Rookie King Tournament, they had truly matured and could fight the older generation of warriors without backing down. Some of them could even hold the upper hand!

And that nameless one who hadn't made a move yet! Pan Hongji couldn't see through the origin or identity of the nameless one, only sensing that he held no hostility toward Gan Jing. Nameless!

Checkforlift! These two strongest young warriors, besides Gan Jing, hadn't even made a move yet! Today...

Pan Hongji’s throat felt dry. If it were only Gan Jing, he might still be able to suppress him, but his team was here! Even if all the old True Saint experts present attacked together, they couldn't suppress them again!

One Rookie King Tournament... had given the younger generation the true capital to contend with the older generation of powerhouses! This was impossible even after previous Rookie King Tournaments, yet someone had truly achieved it now!

“Uncle, you cannot stop me,” Gan Jing advanced through the sky, step by step, like a god carving out the heavens. The air beneath his feet trembled and paved a broad road leading to the stars. Buzz!

The blue sky above the Divine Capital suddenly shook. Several magic towers in different locations erupted with vast magical elements, rapidly activating other magical elements slumbering in the air. Thick chains, like living pythons, snaked out from various locations, sweeping across the sky directly toward Gan Jing.

The Divine Capital had no city walls! That didn't mean the Divine Capital lacked defensive power! As the headquarters of the General Mage Guild, the Divine Capital was secretly guarded by the Guild’s dozen magic towers.

The seemingly haphazard layout of the Divine Capital’s buildings actually formed a specialized magic array. Even if the current Great Demon King himself came to sneak attack Baolong Zhen Ce, he would immediately face the combined power of the entire Divine Capital! Now, this defense system, originally meant to counter potential Demon Race assassinations, was being used to suppress Gan Jing.

Giant magical chains materialized, appearing like multicolored pythons, trembling with metallic rattling sounds as they coiled around Gan Jing’s arms, legs, and body. It wasn't just the magic towers erupting with these chains; the ground near Gan Jing’s feet also spewed forth magical chains that shot upward, attempting to bind him. In an instant, the Divine Capital under the stars transformed into a massive cage.

Countless magical chains formed the strongest blockade—it would be difficult for even a mosquito to fly out of this inescapable net, let alone a strong physique like Gan Jing’s. To stop Gan Jing from leaving, for the future victory of the Zhen Ce Dynasty against the Demon Race! At this moment, all the True Saint experts were going all out, employing every means possible to prevent Gan Jing from escaping.

Trapped! Pan Hongji felt a wave of relief. The time he fought for with his full effort seemed sufficient now to contain Gan Jing.

Finally, things were settling down. Endless chains, a colossal city—a city built over an unfathomable number of years, containing unimaginable might. Gan Jing’s myriad shadows evaded the chains at high speed.

The chains scraped past his clothes but never truly made contact. “Still haven't caught him?” Li Ba frowned. “Gan Jing is too persistent.

It’s clearly impossible for him to break out of this magic array, yet he’s still struggling so desperately. No matter how exquisite and fast his movement methods are, they can’t compare to the entire city. After all, he doesn't possess the destructive power of an Ultimate Bloodline Warrior.” Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Gan Jing moved ceaselessly, tirelessly. In this environment, even a moment of laxity would result in him being ensnared by chains coming from all directions. The Divine Capital, built over countless years, powered by the entire General Mage Guild, possessed the might to trap even an Ultimate Awakening Bloodline Warrior!

Absolute Zero! With his Qian Jin moving at high speed, his mind worked on two things, trying to complete that ultimate Ice Flame Dou Qi Seal which had never been successfully formed. The moment this seal was completed, unleashing Absolute Zero would freeze time around his body, allowing him a chance to calmly evade. Yet, this Absolute Zero simply refused to be truly mastered! “Ten seconds at most…” Pan Hongji’s pair of Wanjie Eyes stared intently at the rapidly moving Qian Jin: “In ten more seconds, Qian Jin will be completely trapped!”

The powerful experts’ spirits jolted upon hearing this. The Snake Emperor Pan Hongji, with his Wanjie Eyes, had never made a mistake in judgment. If he said ten seconds, then Qian Jin truly had only ten seconds left to move.

… Eight, seven… five, four…

The veteran experts silently counted the time in their hearts, while simultaneously guarding against any attempts by Duan Fengbu’er and the others to intervene. They understood, however, that if Duan Fengbu’er were to rush in now, it would only hinder Qian Jin rather than truly assist him. Even Instantaneous Movement Soul Domain wouldn't be able to lock onto the high-speed Qian Jin at this crucial moment.

Three seconds left! The veteran experts watched the endless chains in the sky with anxious hearts, awaiting Qian Jin’s final capture.

Clatter!

The magic of one of the magic towers suddenly ceased! The formation, which was impenetrable, suddenly exhibited a massive flaw.

Everyone was momentarily stunned. What in the world was happening?

Qian Jin had no time to investigate the cause of this sudden massive change, nor did he worry about any traps. Magic casting and stopping always had a time delay. With Wan Ying’s utmost speed charging forward, even if there were traps, they wouldn't have time to activate.

Wan Ying tore through the air, his body rocketing like a cannonball, leaving behind a dozen distinct shadows resembling the real person. He had blasted out of the encirclement of chains.

“How could this be?” Pan Hongji cried out in shock. The magic tower’s defenses were rigorous, and it always operated normally; such a significant error should never have occurred.

“Husband, go quickly! I can’t hold them for much longer!”

The magic tower that had ceased its spell revealed Biluo’s timid form. How could the Magic Arts Guild possibly defend against their own Guild Master? The powerful mages had all been brought under control by the magic Biluo was casting. Although they desperately tried to break the suppression, they realized that their Guild Master’s strength was far greater than they had imagined.

Pan Hongji slapped his forehead hard. All his focus had been on Qian Jin, and he had completely forgotten that the President of the Magic Guild was Qian Jin’s wife!

Although, at a critical moment for the future of the Dynasty, all the mages might eventually resist this Guild Master who had not yet established full authority, they would never dare to imprison her.

Thus, for a female mage possessing genius magic talent, doing whatever she wished inside a magic tower at this moment became an incredibly easy task.

Yes! Biluo succeeded! In an instant, she tore open a huge magical gap for Qian Jin. By the time the others reacted, it was too late to block him. Qian Jin’s body shot out like a cannonball.

Simultaneously! Duan Fengbu’er unleashed his Instantaneous Movement Soul Domain to its fullest extent, and Qian Jin’s entire team suddenly vanished, reappearing a thousand meters away!

The moment they materialized, Yang Fenghua reactivated his Instantaneous Movement Soul Domain, and everyone reappeared another seven hundred meters away!

These two consecutive long-distance dashes, while not yet breaking through the surrounding celestial canopy of chains, allowed the group to slightly shake off the lock-on from the veteran experts.

A mysterious, utterly beautiful, black wing!

A full set of three pairs of exquisitely beautiful black wings instantly tore through the clothing on Chekefulit’s back. The Fallen Angel Bloodline Battle Body instantly activated, and his True Saint power instantly towered above everyone except Qian Jin!

Three pairs of black wings! The posture of ultimate bloodline awakening?

The veteran True Saint experts, who were just about to give chase, abruptly halted their charge. In their memory, if the Fallen Angel Martial Master had three pairs of black wings, it meant he had achieved ultimate awakening!

What did ultimate awakening signify? It carried only one word: Invincibility!

“No! It’s not ultimate awakening!” Qian Zhanxuan was the first to react, moving at high speed to pursue: “We cannot let such a demon live to leave the Zhence Dynasty! He is a future scourge to the Zhence Dynasty!”

Qian Zhanxuan launched his attack, and most of the other True Saint level experts followed suit. If a combat-oriented demon race member was encountered in the Zhence Dynasty, the outcome was singular: Slay him!

The three pairs of black wings spread completely open, each spanning three zhang in length. They seemed poised to envelop the entire capital city beneath their span, delivering not only supreme aesthetic appeal but also immense pressure!

The magic chains, having lost the chance to capture Qian Jin, immediately surged towards Chekefulit, intent on apprehending the demon expert first.

Chekefulit silently turned, thrusting a sword while suspended in the air. That sword light was faster than lightning, fiercer than thunder. Time and space could not constrain the freedom and sharpness of this strike.

The sword light, carrying the chilling aura of killing and death, materialized directly before Qian Zhanxuan, poised to reap his life.

Danger! Qian Zhanxuan once again felt the shadow of death enveloping him. The vertical eye on his forehead fractured and opened again.

“Myriad Law Annihilation!”

The vertical eye of Qian Zhanxuan, still bleeding, gathered tens of thousands of magic spells again, colliding with the sword light, and both vanished into nothingness simultaneously.

After the collision of destructive forces subsided, the younger experts in the sky completely disappeared from the sight of all the powerful figures. Chekefulit’s Hidden Soul Domain completely masked the whereabouts and auras of the group.

“Qian Zhanxuan, you are Qian Jin’s prey, so I will spare you today. In the future, I will certainly travel with Qian Jin to the Qian family to pay a proper visit.”

Above, Chekefulit’s voice echoed.

“Here! Come out for me!”

Qian Zhanxuan unleashed a powerful punch into the void, immediately locking onto the location of Chekefulit and the others.

Although the Hidden Soul Domain was formidable, it could not achieve truly absolute concealment before these veteran experts. While the physical forms could be hidden easily, masking the auras was extremely difficult.

After all, the auras of True Saints were too potent; concealing them entirely was practically impossible unless Chekefulit had truly entered the power of ultimate awakening to completely mask the auras of his companions.

Several major experts simultaneously located Chekefulit’s position and unleashed their ultimate techniques. These combined into torrents, sweeping toward him with unstoppable force.

At this moment, a Fist of Chaos erupted from within Chekefulit’s Soul Domain—it was the Nameless Fist, yet it was Qian Jin’s strongest strike!

The group had long harbored an instinctive apprehension towards Qian Jin’s strongest fist. Seeing this Chaotic Strike, their momentum abruptly weakened considerably. Only the top three strongest figures did not lessen their drive. The Chaotic Strike shattered in the air. Although it couldn't stop the Dou Techniques of those three, it bought the others time to evade.

Pan Hongji and the others’ attacks went wide. The magic chains in the sky, however, all stopped. They could not sense the location of Duan Fengbu’er and the others as the experts could, and therefore could no longer continue their offensive.

The strongest restraining magic had become useless. It became even harder for the experts to stop the younger experts. Everyone exerted their full speed in a sprint, instantly breaking through the gap in the celestial canopy of chains and escaping the greatest threat.

Pan Hongji watched the vanishing group, his eye corners twitching repeatedly: “They actually managed to break out.”

Li Ba nodded silently. If he had been the one attempting to break through such a formation with this lineup, he would certainly have been suppressed. Yet, Qian Jin and his group broke through!

Aside from the mutual assistance of those peculiar Soul Domains, the strength of this group of young people was truly astonishing. Especially that single sword strike from the Fallen Angel—if it had been used entirely for a surprise attack, how many could guarantee they could have dodged it? Qian Jin actually had such a sharp sword by his side! A weapon he had never used in front of everyone!

Qian Zhanxuan closed his Myriad Law Divine Eye, gazing at the sky, struggling to calm the sweat that had sprung up on his body. That strike he just faced was the sharpest sword he had ever seen in his life. It contained no artistry, no Tao, nothing refined—it was clean, pure, and simple: just a thrust of the sword.

A simple stab, yet it was a sword stroke that the world could not easily withstand!

“We truly couldn’t hold them back,” Pan Hongji sighed up at the sky. “If it weren't for the Celestial Canopy Chains, we would have been even less able to stop Qian Jin and the others. They could have even punched their way out of the Imperial City with just their fists, and we could only watch, unable to intervene.”

“Just let them leave like that?” Li Ba frowned at Pan Hongji. “We must do something, right?”

“Yes! Do something!” Pan Hongji’s Wanjie Divine Eyes spun rapidly. “Contact the Magic Guild immediately via magical speed transmission to issue a statement to the entire Demon Race: Zhence Dynasty’s foremost expert, Qian Jin! He is entering the Demon Race territory in the capacity of a Zhence Dynasty warrior to rescue Lucifer Flowing Water! Not as a soldier of the Zhence Dynasty! If the Demon Race dares not face a Zhence Dynasty warrior, then they should greet him with their army!”

The surrounding veteran warriors were initially stunned, then their pupils revealed glimmers of admiration. As expected of the Snake Emperor!

The Demon Race has always respected the strong! Deep within the bones of the entire Demon Race lay a sense of pride and arrogance, looking down upon the pride of the Zhence Dynasty.

His Majesty, the current Great Demon King of the Lucifer Dynasty, had repeatedly issued challenges to the Zhence Dynasty, hoping that both nations could consider the well-being of their citizens. He was willing to lead the Demon Race experts to set up a duel stage against the Zhence Dynasty experts, fighting one-on-one until only one demon or one human remained; the losing side would surrender its entire nation to the victor.

The Great Demon King, a True Saint expert with Dual Bloodline Heavenly Apex Awakening, was renowned as the current era’s undisputed champion in one-on-one combat. The warriors of the Zhence Dynasty wished to accept, but simply could not manage to do so.

Over time, the Demon Race cultivated a special dignity among its Martial Masters, daring to accept any challenge from the Zhence Dynasty.

If Qian Jin were to go as a soldier, then the Demon Race could mobilize its magical legions to kill him without issue.

Now, Qian Jin was going merely as a man, a warrior, to save his wife!

With just a few words, Pan Hongji forced the Demon Race into a tricky predicament: You want to kill Qian Jin? Fine! One-on-one, let’s fight! If you don’t care about losing face, and if all the glory of the Lucifer Dynasty is just garbage, then bring your armies to fight, we don't mind!

This was a strategy even a three-year-old could see through. It was less of a conspiracy and more of an overt scheme, directly striking at the greatest weakness of the Demon Race’s glory!

By the same token, if the Great Demon King had announced the same thing a long time ago, leading a group of demons into Zhence Dynasty territory, beyond the official shouts of mobilizing armies to annihilate them, the warriors of the Zhence Dynasty would genuinely feel too shameless to deploy magical legions to surround and attack.

The Great Demon King certainly understood this logic, but he dared not risk his precious life in such a manner. After all, if the Zhence Dynasty people decided to cast aside face and truly send over magical legions, his death would be for naught! He couldn't possibly sweep through the Zhence Dynasty and the Barbarian Race, unify the continent, and spread the glory of the Demon Race to every corner beneath the stars.

Now, Pan Hongji, in desperation, deployed this undeniably shameless overt strategy to provoke the entire Demon Race.

Don’t you claim that your Demon Race is invincible in one-on-one combat? Don’t you claim your Demon Race possesses the Martial Master spirit? Now, someone from our Zhence Dynasty is entering the Demon Race territory to save his wife. Do you dare to mobilize your magical legions without fearing humiliation?

“At the same time, we must strengthen some troop movements on the front lines to pressure the Demon Race,” Li Ba added as a supplement. “Give them more pressure so they dare not casually redeploy their magical legions.”

“Good! Let’s do it!” Pan Hongji looked at Li Ba. “Old Family Head, you go petition His Majesty the Emperor. I will go handle these matters first. I trust His Majesty won't object.”

Everyone nodded. The current Dragon-Soaring Zhence Emperor was a wise ruler and had repeatedly instructed them to make decisions immediately when a good opportunity arose, submitting a report afterward.
